Course summary

The discipline based pathway of the MA in Theology and the parallel Postgraduate Diploma or Certificate serves to resource missions and ministry, support continuing professional development and act as an excellent platform for further research. In addition, full-time and flexible part-time routes make study accessible for everyone – wherever you are in the world!

The pathway and the parallel Postgraduate Diploma courses each have four course units. These course units are structured around ten two-and-a-half hour seminars. The seminars are facilitated by specialists in the appropriate disciplines. In-depth reading, seminar presentations, group discussion and preparation of written assignments are all included within the course units. This pathway of the general MA in Theology tracks a single discipline pathway across within Biblical Studies.

Additional fee information

As a private charitable college, we receives no support from government sources. NTC is supported by gifts and donations from Churches and from individual donors, and this allows student fees to be set at a competitive rate.

The cost of studying at NTC—and the options on how to pay—depend on the course you choose and whether you’re a UK/EU student or visiting us from further afield.
